So, it's complicated. Acoustic Glass is good at reducing certain noises, or containing certain noises, but useless against others. Just saying 3.7% isn't realistic. It also will change the characteristics of the noise, making the same volume of noise more palatable to some. In general it IS...

People always claim these base EVs drive better but, to be honest, I think it's a placebo effect. The higher trims are all extremely rear wheel biased 90%+ of the time. This isn't a small, light sportscar. It's a very big, heavy vehicle and you're going to get more prowess with the additional...

Get 20s and don't let your wife ever see this post.

Earlier C&D writers had glowing things to say about the steering. The particular editor that said "unnatural" is a vintage car guy and hates electric steering. He was also referring to the entire electric power steering feel and not RWS, it's just clumsily written. RWS does *not* alter the...

They're saying they got 3.5 in the ICE Macan GTS. Also funny Drew Dorian of C&D earlier said " The steering is quick and feels natural" and in this article Csaba Csere of C&D says "electric power steering calibration is not Porsche's best effort. This car was equipped with optional rear-wheel...

Demand specifics. What was damaged, how it was damaged, what exactly is being done. Hard to say before we know all of that. It's not uncommon for cars to receive minor damage in transit and have pre-delivery repairs. But it's extremely disappointing and I'd be highly concerned as well.

A common theme in his video is.. he keeps touching stuff you will literally never touch. The touch surfaces all remain good quality. He also made a fuss about the intentionally haptic portion of the climate screen. You're good, don't worry.

Shoot, you mean the LED bar will move if I violently tug on it? Guess I better cancel my order.

1:31 average speed 52mph should really have better efficiency. Yikes.

Yikes, that's lower than I'd hope for.

As mentioned above, they can't be sold immediately. Sometimes ever. The dealers are occasionally provided with what are technically pre-production demos and legally cannot be sold.

I will argue until my dying days that smaller tires generally improve day to day sporty feel. The 20s on my Taycan felt significantly more natural than the 21s. And grip is going to far exceed anything you need with proper tires on. You get larger wheels for the looks or because you're going to...

The OEM wheels are heavy, as most OEM tires are. I don't think we have the exact weights anywhere but almost anything aftermarket will be lighter. How much impact 40ish pounds of unsprung weight has on range, though.. shrug. As for range, it's the most important aspect of an EV if you're using...

Are those for shorter drives? You're always going to get bad consumption numbers for around town/daily commuting. It's inefficient starting the car, climate control going, warming the battery, etc.. The setup Porsche uses is especially front-heavy on consumption and favors highway over city...

Given the huge new issues with Taycans (my last Taycan was a lemon!) and these significant early Macan issues.. I'm actually debating if it's worth it. Not good.

With 20", not really. The glass helps the most with larger tires and/or if you spec burmeister. It's going to be a very quiet car for you on 20s.

If you're concerned about noise, get 20" wheels and you'll be fine. With or without insulated glass the 21s and 22s will result in a noisier cabin.

What's your consumption? The "range" meter can be wildly inaccurate. You need to look at consumption. Ie.. kWh/100km

This. It's just not a thing. Just swap tires and sell the ones you don't like if it's bothering you.

Regen starts well before 3k KM. The 3 KM is the overall recommended break in, that no one abides by anyway and is mostly irrelevant for electric cars. Regen should be fully active well before 1,000 km.
